Aeroplane Hijack
A man hijacks an aeroplane transporting both passengers(8 of them) and
valuable cargo. After taking the cargo, the man demands nine parachutes,
puts one of them on, and jumps, leaving the other eight behind. Why did
he want eight?
Challenging
Outside a room there are three light switches. One of switch is connected to a light bulb inside the room.
Each of the three switches can be either 'ON' or 'OFF'.
You are allowed to set each switch the way you want it and then enter the room(note: you can enter the room only once)
Your task is to then determine which switch controls the bulb ??
Tricky Logical Mind Bender
A man was gazing through the window of the 33rd floor of the building.
He suddenly opened the window and jumped on the other side of the
window. On landing the floor, there was not a sheer mark of injury on
him.
How can that be possible if he did not use any kind of parachute and did not land on a soft surface ?
Solution
1.Aeroplane Hijack
If the officials thought he was jumping with a hostage, they would never risk giving him a faulty parachute.
2.Challenging
Set the first switches on for abt 10min, and then switch on the second switch and then enter the room.
Three cases are possible
1.Bulb is on => second switch is the ans
2.Bulb is off and on touching bulb , you will find bulb to be warm
=>1st switch is the ans.
3.Bulb is off and on touching second bulb , you will find bulb to be normal(not warm)
=>3rd bulb is the ans.
3.Tricky Logical Mind Bender
The man falls within the house or the room i.e the other side of window not outside the building on the road or hard ground.

Essential toolkit for your PC
1. The PC takes time to boot, open and search for files and folders.
Solution: Auslogics Disk Defrag Free
Your pc’s hard drive needs to be given a break once every month. The
constant moving and deletion of files and folders results in data being
stored in bits and pieces all over the hard disk. Accessing these
fragments starts taking a toll on the drive’s performance and longevity.
Auslogics Disk Defrag Free (ADDF) is a light and effective tool that
sets things straight; it does it while you’re working on your PC, unlike
the built-in Windows tool that requires you to stop all tasks while a
defrag is in process. Additionally, ADDF can also strategically place
system files on the hard drive where access times are the lowest,
thereby improving performance.

2. The browser slow, and the PC becomes sluggish while connected to the internet.
Solution: Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware
There
is a likelihood that your PC has been infected by malware – a trojan,
worm, a rootkit, etc – that insidiously works in the background for all
the wrong reasons, of course. They are meant to simply cripple your
machine; turn it into a bot to relay information or steal login
credentials of your various online accounts. Enter Malwarebytes’
Anti-Malware, a software that uses its database and heuristics to deworm
your PC to the pink of health. Just make sure you use this cleaner
every week and keep it updated.
Solution: Orion File Recovery Software
You will be pleasantly surprised to know that clearing the contents of the Recycle Bin does not necessarily mean that the data has been lost forever. What Windows has done is taken the record of the files' existence off its shelf. The files still exist on the hard drive, but only for a short while until they are replaced by other data. Assuming the location where the files were stored on your hard drive have not already been refreshed with new data, you can fire up Orion File Recovery and hunt them down. In fact, it can be used to scan memory cards and USB drives as well. And on the flip side, Orion can also be used to permanently delete "deleted" files.

Solution: PC-Wizard
It is not important to know your PC
config by heart, but it is extremely useful to have a spec list handy, especially when you're seeking tech support from friends and your service engineer. There might be a time when you'll need to share details like the amount and kind of RAM, hard disk size and type of processor with your local tech support guy. CPU-ID's PC-Wizard is a simple info tool that scans and lists all the devices and components it discovers in your system. The list can be saved in various formats, including as an image, PDF, and HTML file.

5. You have uninstalled programs, but still see their folders in Windows Explorer.
Solution: Revo Uninstaller Free
Uninstalling software with Windows' built-in utility is good enough, right? Most of the times, yes. Sometimes, however, you might come across folders of software that you've uninstalled ages ago. Some programs do not remove all data unless explicitly instructed to do so via a check box. Others don't bother to offer such customizations and leave residual files that are usually of no use. Revo Uninstaller Free is your uninstaller on steroids; removing remnants and also including eight tools for more control over the clutter that's clogging your PC. These tools are neatly arranged in tabs and can be used to control the programs that are loaded on startup; remove junk files; and even permanently clear out data you thought you had deleted a long time ago.

6. Your PC keeps freezing, restarting or just crashing "randomly".
Solution: WhoCrashed
Even though it might seem that your PC is randomly doing these bizarre things, most of the time there is a pattern before which it has a seizure. Even if you aren't able to put a finger on whether it locks up after you start playing music files, opening the browser or playing a game, you can try WhoCrashed and find out whodunit. The software reads the file that's created each time a PC crashes and throws up an inference to the errant device driver. While this may not always be completely accurate, it is a simpler way to get to the root of the problem. The resulting diagnosis can also be used in technical forums, if you need more guidance.
